We were linked to Mbappe when he was 16 at Monaco in 2016 and apparently they wanted €50m so we skipped on him. Apparently. So there was nothing concrete like that. You could say any team could have signed either him or Haaland and didn't. Think we went after Haaland in 2017 or 2018 when he was at Molde and he didn't want to be loaned out, he made the right choice with all his moves so can't blame him or Raiola. Would be unusual for a top club to give a 19 year old from the Norwegian league the keys to the attack, just how it is. At the same time we were buying Higuain for €90m.

I don't think we've signed any Italian forwards since Zaza un 2015.
We actualy signed Orsolini instead of Mbappe. For 6 million.

As for Haaland, we actualy had a second chance to sign him few years ago, but we offered him a place in Juve U23, lul. Raiola said no, of course. He even talked about it publicly.

We rarely knew how to handle wunderkids even when we signed them. Pogba was wonderful example. I can't remember many others. Always regreted we sold Coman. The 352 is screwing us even today and we'll probably ruin Chiesa or sell him because of it.

It's not like we were signing Orsolini or Mbappe lol. Orsolini also never played a minute for us he was just an investment. It's like saying we signed Berardi instead of Neymar.

I think the two times where we approached Haaland get mixed into one, Raiola was trolling, was a nice soundbite from him to say that we'd put him in the U23. Like we'd do that with a player who costs €20m, absolute rubbish. Haaland also said when he moved to Salzburg that it was a better choice for him than Juve at that point, and he was right. But then they are a great first point for any young player.

Lets hope Lukaku was being honest this time.
I rather see our current forward line or -Vlahovic +some young prodigy than see this big douche wearing a Juve shirt.

Put it this way, Pogba passed his.
Everyone pass it (but Schick), but when they see our medical staff its like Hotel California they can never leave..
